“…Epidemiologically, CH shows similar incidence amongst males and females, and various ethnic groups. It mainly manifests itself in patients with ages ranging 11-30 years, showing no predilection for either left or right side [1,3]. The etiology of CH is controversial and not well understood.…”

“…The etiology of CH is controversial and not well understood. Excessive proliferation in response to an infection, repair especially after trauma, abnormal loading have been suggested as causes leading to CH [1,3]. A plethora of other presumed causes are hormonal disturbances, partial hemihypertrophy, arthrosis, osteochondromatosis, local circulating disturbances or neurotropic disturbances [2,3].…”

A 30-year-old male patient came to the dental OPD with a chief complaint of slowly progressing facial asymmetry following a facial trauma three years back. On inspection facial asymmetry was evident due to elongation of right lower half of the face with the mandible deviated towards the left side. The prominence of chin appeared shifted towards the left side. On palpation all inspectory findings were confirmed, condylar movements appeared limited on the right side. A non tender bony prominence was appreciated in the pre auricular region during mandibular movements. On examination, the right condylar enlargement resulted in facial asymmetry, elongation of right lower half of the face shifting the chin prominence to the left side, and limited movements on the right side. Based on the history and clinical findings the provisional diagnosis of unilateral CH of right side was made. Patient's consent for clinical pictures could not be obtained.Radiographic evaluation by panoramic and conventional tomographic views revealed an enlarged bulky, right condylar head with a thick condylar neck. The ramus appeared elongated and the lower border of the right side of mandible was thickened. Computed tomography (CT) and 3 Dimensional (3D) CT scan findings supported the clinical diagnosis [Table/ Fig-1 Fig-2]. After performing all routine blood investigations which were within the normal range, right condylectomy was performed and histopathology of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis of condylar hyperplasia. A second surgery of osteotomy of the mandible was planned for esthetic reasons.

“…In literature, this disorder has been described as a selflimiting condition, but as long as it remains active, the asymmetry progresses with the associated occlusal changes [9]. This progressing deformity warrants early recognition and an early resolution of the problem.…”

Condylar hyperplasia is a rare non-neoplastic pathology associated with overgrowth of the mandibular condyle. Presentation of condylar hyperplasia with bifid mandibular condyle has never been reported in literature. Early management of the hyperplastic disorders of the mandibular condyle can prevent occlusal canting and developing asymmetric deformities. We report a case of 'Bifid Hyperplastic Mandibular Condyle' in a 14-year-old male with emphasis on early surgical intervention. To best of our knowledge, the present case is the first reported case of bifid mandibular condyle with condylar hyperplasia and 66th reported case of bifid mandibular condyle in living human population.

“…It was first described by Robert Adams in 1836 as a condition that causes overdevelopment of the mandible, creating functional and esthetic problems 12 . The excessive unilateral growth of the mandibular condyle can lead to facial asymmetry, occlusal disturbance, and joint dysfunction 13 . It represents a challenge to both surgeons and orthodontists and because of the severe dentofacial deformity it can create 14 .…”
